Back online soon

I'll be back online by July 8th. I've ordered cable internet to be installed. Here at the library in Rice Lake, I only get 30 minutes to access the computer. After catching up on email and posting the latest press releases on SpinRGV, I don't have much time left over to write anything.

There are many things to share. I've met many people at the canning plant from Mexico and other parts of Texas. I'm also experiencing some pretty exhaustive work which leaves me tired and sore every day. It's very demanding from me, but it gives much to write about. My job is actually very simple and not so demanding, which means that I need to keep myself busy doing odd jobs around my area of the plant. It's the odd jobs that are murder.

I may end up going to the school again, later in the season. There will be several employees who will be leaving early, leaving the Head Start short on bilingual people. I do believe in the project, so if I can help it succeed through the rest of the season, I will.

One thing I would like to point out is that I am missing a lot of what's going on in the Rio Grande Valley without the Internet. Redistricting has my interest; if I could read more about it. Also, I'm curious what's going on with the state budget and the state of affairs in Edinburg, McAllen, and western Hidalgo County. I may not be in the RGV, physically, but you can count on me having an opinion.
